Hot Mozz 5 Piece Meal
Five golden fried mozzarella planks served with a side of crispy fries — the biggest, most shareable Hot Mozz meal. New at Dave's.
About the Hot Mozz 5 Piece Meal
The largest Hot Mozz meal on the menu — five golden, fried mozzarella planks paired with a side of crispy fries. It's the most shareable way to get your cheese-pull fix, and a complete meal in one box.
The Hot Mozz 5 Piece Meal is the biggest Hot Mozz portion Dave's offers, making it ideal whether you're splitting it across a table or bringing a serious appetite of your own. Each plank is breaded and fried until the outside turns deep golden and crisp while the mozzarella inside melts into that signature stretchy cheese pull. With five planks plus fries, there's plenty to go around — or plenty to keep all to yourself.
Because the meal already includes a side of crispy fries, you don't need to add anything to make it complete. The planks are best enjoyed hot and fresh, right out of the box, and they shine brightest with a side of marinara for dipping. It's a vegetarian-friendly comfort-food meal built for the table.

Crinkle-Cut Fries
A side of crispy crinkle-cut fries comes standard with the meal, turning the planks into a complete, satisfying box without any add-ons.

How to Customize
Marinara Dipping Sauce
The classic pairing for fried mozzarella. The bright, tangy tomato sauce cuts the richness of the cheese and complements every golden, crispy plank.
Dave's Sauce
Dave's signature creamy dipping sauce adds a cool, tangy richness to the planks — a popular alternative to marinara for those who want something different.
Optional Dave's Spice Dusting
Want a little heat? Ask for an optional dusting of Dave's spice over the planks for a subtle kick. Completely optional — the planks are great plain too.
The Cheese Pull
Eat the planks hot and fresh, straight from the box. That's when the mozzarella stretches into the perfect cheese pull — the whole point of Hot Mozz.
Swap Fries for Kale Slaw
Trade the crispy fries for cool, tangy kale slaw to balance the richness of the cheese with a fresh, crunchy contrast.

Is the Hot Mozz 5 Piece Meal vegetarian?

How many calories are in the Hot Mozz 5 Piece Meal?
The full meal (five planks plus a side of fries) is approximately 1,040 calories, with around 56g of fat, 85g of carbohydrates, and 32g of protein. Because it's built to share, splitting it across two people keeps each portion lighter. Values are estimates and may vary by location and sauce choice.
What's the difference between the Hot Mozz 5 Piece and the 5 Piece Meal?
The Hot Mozz 5 Piece is just the five mozzarella planks on their own, while the Hot Mozz 5 Piece Meal adds a side of crispy fries to make it a complete meal. If you want the planks plus a side in one box, choose the 5 Piece Meal; if you only want the planks, order the 5 Piece.
